If the parking attendant is 100m away.. and headed ur way..

 

My lot in question is just outside bukit timah shopping center, parallel lots by the road. I saw the parking attendant and thought: DAMN!

 

now do i wait until she passes, assuming she comes my way, or just chiong up n take the risk?

 

actually, it was a blessing in disguise. I was actually leaving the car when I saw her. decided to tear off 50c. reason being that if she see me waiting in the car, she might know i'm waiting for her to pass or make me tear coupon anyway.

 

i probably escaped a 50 dollar (or whatever amount that offence is worth) fine today [sweatdrop]

 

btw, the cheque was for a maid agency on the 3rd floor. i took my own sweet time, and was done in less than 10 min. if i chiong up, 5 min max [:p]

No choice lah attendent there must put even though some may say they give 5 min grace.

If no attendent 5 mins get ticket is like but 4d and strike [laugh]

 

But I rembered once I buying things, I've already ordered and was waiting for goods. Suddenly someone say attendent is here a lot of ppl quickly went to their cars. I quickly go back to my car (within 20m) and 'guard' it when the attendent was here I asked for 5mins . The attendent carried on with other vehicles and I went back to the shop and collect my goods and leave happily [:)]

happen to me one time, parked at my dad's place but realised I ran out of parking coupon, I can drive to the petrol station across the road, buy coupon then drive back, or I can dash across the road, buy coupon and come back...

 

I was lucky, I ask the parking attentant that I ran out of coupon and if I can just go across the road and buy then come back... she say ok just don't take too long...

I encountered one time with the carpark attendant as I park my vehicle for 5 minutes on the motorcycle lots. He told me that I should put hazard light if I am going away for a few mins. So guys.. if you are away for a few mins.. just park at correct lots or double yellow lines and put hazard lights. It should be safe.. Actually that attendant slip his tougue when he told me this.

I actually encountered something similar....

Parked at a proper lot, but never put coupon.

Just grabbing something from a shop 10m away.

Attendant was nearby, but I didn't know, cos he was wearing a jacket.

When I walked past him, he told me to put coupon, I told him only 5 mins...

He wasn't very convinced, but after some negotiations,

we compromised that if I not back in 5mins, he book me. [:|]

I was gone in under 3 mins... [:p]

i will not put coupon, however i will on my hazard light. there was 1 incident, there was no parking space, so i stopped on the double yellow line with hazard light on do pick up some stuff from a shop nearby. i saw the warden coming and told her to give me 5 mins to pick up something. she said max 5 mins, else she will issue a summon. i return less than 5 mins and no summon [;)]

ur case, it's usually fine. but i did hear of pple who were asked to put coupon or drive away while waiting in their car. which was why i didn't wait out the attendant [:/]

 

edit: does anyone remember the case where two wardens booked a guy who was buying fruit? then they proceeded to park their bikes illegally and kena STOMPED by the motorist.

 

some guailan kia wardens wun give face [furious]. with a bit of graciousness, 5 min w/o coupon shd be fine, but some pple just like to make life difficult for others. [shakehead]

I will not if i'm sure I wouldn't take more than 5mins. Most warden wouldn't give you a ticket striaght away. They will key in your car details and only issue a ticket if you are still not back after some time.
